[Arabic] - سحر الكونغ فو

تُعَدُّ رياضة الكونغ فو شكلاً مِن أشكال تمرين الجسد على المهارات القتالية العالية، بالإضافة إلى تمرين النفس على الانضباط الداخليّ والتركيز الشديد، كما أنَّها تعمل على تطوير قدرة المرء ليكون جاهزاً ومتأنِّياً للتحكُّم في عواطفه وعقله بالشكل المناسب. وبالرغم مِن وجود شَبه بين هذه الرياضة وبعض الفنون القتاليَّة الأخرى كالتايكوندو والكاراتيه، إلَّا إنَّ هناك فرقاً بينها، وتختلف أيضاً مِن حيث القوانين والتاريخ. مِن واقع تجربتي للكونغ فو وفوائدها التي غمرَتني بالطاقة الإيجابية، التي بِدَورها أثَّرَت بشكل جذري على حياتي الشخصيَّة والمهنيَّة، أحببتُ أن أشارك عزيزي القارئ كلَّ المعلومات التي أملكها عن هذه الرياضة العريقة التي ستجعلك حتماً تريد معرفة المزيد عنها، فلِمَ لا تمارسها بشكل جديّ وتجعلها أسلوب حياة لك ولأطفالك؟

[Afrikaans] - Onkant!: 'n Rugbyliefdesverhaal

“TOE EK IN MY EERSTE WÊRELDBEKERWEDSTRYD UITDRAF, WAS DAAR IETS SOOS 54 000 MENSE. JY SIEN NET KAMERAFLITSE, DIS AMPER HIPNOTIES . . . DIE COACH SKREE VIR MY: ‘CHUCKY, WAARMEE IS JY BESIG?’ TOE BESEF EK EK IS BESIG OM VIR DIE MENSE TE WAAI.” – LOUIS ‘CHUCKY’ VAN DER WESTHUIZEN Het jy al ooit gewonder hoe 50 000 ekstatiese ondersteuners op die paviljoen klink of wat dit beteken om ’n Springbokbaadjie in jou kas te hê? In die aanloop tot die Rugbywêreldbeker het die joernalis Hendrik Hancke die land deurkruis om met oud-Springbokke, provinsiale spelers, breiers en ’n rugbyskrywer te gesels oor hul liefde vir rugby. Hulle deel persoonlike oorwinnings en teleurstellings, die lesse wat rugby hulle al geleer het, spesiale kleedkamer-oomblikke en stories oor wat van die veld af gebeur. Schalk Brits verduidelik byvoorbeeld waarom dit so noodsaaklik is vir ’n Springbok om ’n spanspeler te wees, terwyl Gcobani Bobo aangrypend vertel van sy reis met rugby van King Williamstown tot Nieu-Seeland. Frik du Preez lig weer die sluier oor hoe dit was om in die 1960’s te toer en die kattekwaad wat hulle aangevang het, terwyl Jean de Villiers deel wat dit beteken om Springbokkaptein te wees. As jy Saterdagmiddae kliphard vir die televisie skree, of op die sypaadjie sal slaap om ’n kaartjie vir ’n groot wedstryd te kry, dan is dié boek vir jou.

Zwei Hamburger segeln nach Haparanda: Eine Reise bis ans Ende der Ostsee

Segeln ist eine einzigartige Art zu reisen. Vor allem, wenn es an das Ende der Ostsee geht: Ganz im Norden liegt die kleine Stadt Haparanda zwischen Schweden und Finnland. Das Buch ist ein spannender Reisebericht für Segler, aber auch für Fans von abenteuerlichen Reisen und Skandinavien. An sandigen Küsten vorbei, durch die Schären mit Tausenden kleiner Inseln geht der Törn, durch Stockholm und weiter nördlich an der »Höga Kusten« vorbei, bis die Segler auf ihrer »Vindö 32« das Nordende des Bottnischen Meeres erreichen. Dort hat sich in den dichten Wäldern so mancher Elch versteckt und in Haparanda steht der nördlichste Ikea der Welt. Die finnische Küste geht es wieder nach Süden, an der die flachen Gewässer manchen Umweg nötig machen. Der Autor schildert, wie sie kleine und große Häfen anlaufen, von versteckten Fischereipiers bis zu großen Städten, die voller maritimer Geschichte und so mancher Anekdote stecken. Unterwegs erleben sie viele lustige, aber auch anspruchsvolle Herausforderungen, die es zu meistern gilt. Doch dieses Buch ist mehr als ein Reisebericht: Denn »Mr. Moose«, der schwimmende Elch, ist mit dabei. »Mr. Moose« hat immer einen humorvollen Spruch parat - und einsteigerfreundliche Tipps über das Fahrtensegeln. Der Autor nimmt die Leserinnen und Leser mit auf »große Fahrt« in die Ostsee, zu der auch ein Abstecher nach Norwegen zählt. Leinen los!

Zonal Marking: The Making of Modern European Football

An insightful, comprehensive and always entertaining appreciation of how European football has developed over the last three decades by the author of the much heralded The Mixer. Continental football has always cast a spell over the imagination. From the attacking flair of Real Madrid of the 50s to the defensive brilliance of the Italians in the 60s and onto the total football of the Dutch in the 70s, the European leagues have been where the game has most evolved and taken its biggest steps forward. And over the last three decades, since the rebranding of the Champions League in 1992, that pattern has continued unabated, with each major European footballing nation playing its part in how the game's tactics have developed. From the intelligent use of space displayed by the phenomenal Ajax team of the early 90s, to the dominance of the highly strategic Italian league in the late 90s and onto the technical wizardry of Barcelona's tiki-taka, the European game continues to reinvent the tactical dimension of the game, creating blueprints which both club and national teams around the world strive to follow. In Zonal Marking, Michael Cox brilliantly investigates and analyses the major leagues around Europe over specific time periods and demonstrates the impact each has made on how the game is now played. Highly entertaining and packed full of wonderful anecdotes, this is the first book of its kind to take an overview of modern European football, and lays bare just how much the international language of football can be shaped by a nation's unique identity.

Zero Regrets: Be Greater Than Yesterday

"Zero regrets. It's a philosophy not just about sport but about life. School, business, academics, love'anything and everything. It's complicated and yet not. You have to figure out who it is you want to be. Not what you want to be'who. There has to be a vision, a dream, a plan. Then you chase that with everything you've got." Over three consecutive Olympic games, Apolo Ohno has come to symbolize the very best of the competitive spirit'remaining equally gracious in victory and defeat, always striving to improve his performance, and appreciating the value of the hard work of training as much as any reward it might bring. In Zero Regrets, Apolo shares the inspiring personal story behind his remarkable success, as well as the hard-won truths and strategies he has discovered in good times and bad. Raised by his single father, an immigrant from Japan who often worked twelve-hour days, the young Apolo found it difficult to balance his enormous natural gifts as an athlete with an admittedly wild, rebellious streak. After making a name for himself as a promising young speed skater, his career was almost over before it began when his lack of preparation caused him to finish last at the U.S. Olympic trials in 1998. A life-changing week of solitary soul-searching at the age of fifteen led him to recommit himself to his training, and at the 1999 world junior championships he won first place overall'one of the most remarkable turnarounds in sports history. From that moment on, the world of speed skating had a new champion and Apolo was on his way to legendary status. Much more than an account of races won and lost, Zero Regrets is a compelling portrait of a father-and-son relationship that deepened over time and was based on respect, love, and unshakable faith in each other. For the first time, Apolo reveals what he knows about his long-absent mother; he makes us feel what it is like to face the best competitors on the planet with the eyes of millions of fans upon you; and he shares his secrets for achieving total focus and mental toughness, secrets that can be applied in situations well beyond sports. We learn the details of the unbelievably intense workout and diet that he endured while training for the 2010 Winter Olympics, a regime that literally reshaped his body and led to some of his most thrilling victories.

Your 15th Club

Any golfer will understand this: You go out to the driving range, you warm up with your irons, everything is going right. You pull out your utility clubs, you are hitting great. Your driver -- boom. The ball flies far and lands just where you want it. You head for the practice green...you drain every putt from 30 feet in. Time to play with your friends. Eighteen delicious holes and you are going to show them how good you are. Your mind starts racing a bit. Am I too confident? Am I too relaxed? Thoughts starts creeping in, but you still believe. You line up over the first tee ready to drill it. Everything is going to be great.... Whack! You can't believe it -- you spray the ball 30 yards to the right, short and in deep rough. You try to punch out to the fairway...only it goes to the other rough. And so on . . you end up quadruple bogey. Your day is shot... It happens to every golfer. The mind becomes their worst enemy. It's not physical. It's all in the head. How do listeners get their brains back to practice range? Why did it change? The preeminent golf psychologist Bob Rotella, whose counsel and knowledge is sought by hundreds of thousands, including the world's top players, has spent years trying to discover a way to get golfers to stay in the mindset that they can thrive in. In Your 15th Club, Rotella has done just that: come up with a plan to help golfers play at their optimal best. It is something that every golfer will want to learn.
